Hey everyone, I'm Danish Mohamed. I am new to BiggerPockets, and I'm also new to real estate investing in the United States of America. I came to the United States from my old country, Vietnam, around four years ago, and I am blessed to have some extra funds to invest in the BRRRR strategy of real estate in the Seattle and its surrounding markets.

At first, I initially looked at the Cleveland market as well, but the anxiety built up in me because of the fact that I'm out of state, and obviously, Washington and Ohio are not really close. And especially for my first deal in the United States, it made me anxious.

(I would love to hear some professionals give me unbiased perspective between Seattle and Cleveland market)

So I decided, you know what, I will try to stick to the Seattle market where I am staying to see how it goes.

I would love to build a team or network with real estate professionals in the Seattle area, like a real estate agent who knows a lot about investment properties and the nuances of the Seattle market.

Even though I have done my homework for the past two years, I also want to connect with a property manager who specializes in Section 8 rentals because I'm planning to rent it out to Section 8 after I rehab the property.

Additionally, I would love to connect with some hard money lenders in the area or those who have a footprint in Seattle, Washington, that are investor and beginner-friendly.

Although this is my first time doing deals in the US, when I was in Vietnam, I did something quite similar to the BRRRR strategy, but in my home country. And that's also where I get the fund from, liquidating the one in Vietnam :)

Obviously, the market nuances are different, and everything is different, but I would say that I do have some indirect experience, and I just want to get my first deal done in the United States.

Most Importantly, I also want to connect with a general contractor who specializes in rehabbing.

So yeah, I would love to connect with people in those professions. Feel free to reach out to me directly instead of posting if you would love to network.

Thanks, all.

Hi there, I'm Danish. I'm new to this platform. As an out of state investor, I would love to connect and potentially have a property manager in my team that experience in Section 8 rental.

@Michael Smythe hmmmm, how's Detroit differentiate itself from Cleveland?

Hey everyone, my name is Danish. I'm new to the forum and new to this platform. I've known about this platform for a while, but I have decided to take a step and join to connect with people. I have been an investor in private and public companies for years, and I have decided to take a leap of faith and get into real estate. I'm based in Seattle, and I am really, really interested in the Cleveland, Ohio market. I would love to learn more from the people in this forum specifically.

In the meantime, I would love to develop a team as I'm already looking at a couple of properties, and hopefully, I can get started at the beginning of 2025, buying up a few properties. So again, I would love to connect and build a team of real estate agents, general contractors, inspectors, and property managers specializing in Section 8. As a matter of fact, if everyone on my team has knowledge about Section 8, that would be ideal.

So, yeah, I would love to connect with people, learn more about the Cleveland market, and hopefully, start applying the strategy as soon as possible. I have been fascinated by the BRRRR strategy, and hopefully, it will work well in Cleveland. So, yeah, I would love to connect to discuss real estate, learn from you all, and hopefully, if you are interested in investing in private or public equity, feel free to connect with me as well. If you are a real estate agent, general contractor, home inspector, or property manager, feel free to reach out to me as well
